"I was apprehensive about trying a new vet, but Downers Grove Animal Hospital came highly recommended and I wasn’t disappointed. I appreciate that it is privately owned and feel my pet was given excellent service. "

"This is the best place ever!!!"

"My pups and I couldn’t be happier with everyone—Doctors and Staff—at the hospital!"

"Fantabulous"

"My bird is 25 years old. With some swabs he found a infection in the lower part of her and so I took hole a antibiotic and she has responded wonderfully to it. She had not eaten for a day and was tired and sleeping and only drinking but by the next morning shortly after her 2nd dose she was eating and looking better. Today Saturday only two days into her antibiotic she’s almost back to normal she’s eating and chirping and walking around. I can tell she’s napping a little extra because of recovering but she’s fully eating a lot and looks great and her eyes are fully open. She’s a very active chirpy bird at age 25 so in a few more days she’ll be running back and fourth chirping away. "

"Just here for grooming this time. Sherry does a great job with Abby and she always comes home looking so cute! Abby likes her so I know she is treating her well while grooming her. "

"New patient, I knew they were booked so I was prepared there may be a long wait, but that was not the case. I was checked in, shown to a room & the Dr came in ASAP. I was very impressed by the front office staff and dr. I really needed to get my dog in and nobody in the surrounding area of Elmhurst was either open, willing to take us or even bothered to ask a Dr."

"everything was fine, nice staff, great doctor "

"Every personal interaction, whether with doctors or staff, is always great. Everyone is always so nice. A great bunch of people!"

"Every thing was fine."

"I could not be happier with all of my experiences with DG Animal Hospital. Bug has seen Dr. Max and Dr. Bob. Both were very thorough and caring in helping to figure out what was causing Bug to throw up so often. Dr. Bob suggested we try changing Bug's diet to Hill's z/d diet. Since I changed his diet, he rarely throws up and he has gained over a pound. I tried for a few years to figure out what was wrong with him at the last Vet practice, and they would just run tests and say he was fine. In three months after our first visit, you have figured it out! Last week I ran out of Hill's z/d dry and your office hasn't been able to get it. With Bug finally feeling well, I didn't want to risk a set back, or upsetting his tummy. Every person I have talked to on the phone has been so friendly, kind and helpful. Tammy helped me set up an order on Hill's to Home and place an order. As it turns out, they were back-ordered, too, which I didn't find out until after the weekend. I later tracked some down at PetSmart, but needed a prescription, so I called the office again. Liz helped me get a prescription and I was able to pick up food after work. I feel as if I called the office 3 or 4 times in just a few days while trying to get the food. Each person I spoke with was great."

"The ladies at the front desk are always extremely helpful, friendly and responsive."

"My dog Amber looks forward to seeing Dr. Wehling who is Amber's doctor. And now my lovebird Sparky also gets treated by Dr. Wehling."

"It was a breath of fresh air to be able to have my cockatiels seen by an experienced, and knowledgeable avian veterinarian. I've dealt with a lot of exotics vets over the years. I find it is quite rare to find vets who are 100% able to adequately treat, be comfortable with, and are fully knowledgeable about avian/exotic patients. "

"Great. As usual!!"

"Dr.Max is very caring and explains all options and lets you decide on what is best for you and your pet. We had to put Hershey down after 13 years, and everyone was wonderful. Thanks for your care over all these years."
